(15849_ng.tif) Lama meditating by the ocean, Maroochydore, Australia, 1974. The lamas took a day off during the Diamond Valley course to go to the beach in Tom Vichta's van. Everyone got out to enjoy the view from the cliffs, but Lama Yeshe ran straight down to the water's edge, hitched up his robes, and waded in, splashing about with delight.
